My Heroine

For Lexus

When I was swallowed by consuming grief
from a life I left behind
You walked with me into the darkness
lurking in my mind

You sat with me as I struggled with pain
you could never understand
From a horrific loss of innocence
bled out in the sand

You heard the screaming from my wounds
when I cried out in my sleep
You saw the pain etched in my face
from the memories I keep

You were there for me to hold onto
when I was terrified
That life could never be the same
from what I justified

You gave yourself to me completely
When I craved relief
I lost myself within your essence
A healing for my grief

You were there when I got better
holding out your hands
Beckoning me to come to you
To be your loving man

You stood by me in my darkest hour
A dangerous place to roam
So now whenever I see your smile
I know I'm finally home

My lover my muse my shining star
Glowing from within
For everything you are to me
You're my heroine

i really like this, Baby R.

i could see it as someone coming into the speaker's life and helping him cope and then rebound from a tragic loss of a loved one.

but i also see the muse...who is always there no matter what, and she surely helps us get through the bad times...i have no idea what i would have done many times, without her.

beautiful piece of writing...so moving.
